Chapter 177

It was a morning when the sky was overcast.

Last night's sudden heavy rain seemed to wash away the dust between heaven and earth.

Under the gloomy sky, the flags on Wucheng crackled in the gale, and there was a feeling that the wind and rain were coming.

However, for Qin Yu, this kind of overcast and gloomy weather that has just rained is the best weather for lazy sleep.

Qin Yu still lives on the city tower, although he has already negotiated with Lu Cheng, he has to keep a hand, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.

But without Xiang Yu, that guy was howling outside, Qin Yu slept a lot more comfortably.

In addition, it rained last night, and the sky was still cloudy in the morning, and the temperature had also dropped a little, so Qin Yu comfortably shrunk on the bed and fell asleep.

Just when Qin Yu dreamed in a daze, and was enjoying the joy of fish and water with Li Yue and Zhao Ling'er, the sound of war drums faintly sounded in his ears.

"Is it to cheer me on? Look how I kill Del and throw off my armor! Ahh ”

Qin Yu laughed wickedly in his dream, and Zhao Ling'er and Li Yue were like frightened kittens, cowering on the edge of the bed in fright.

Just when Qin Yu was about to put it into action, "Bang! The sound frightened Qin Yu so much that he woke up directly from his sleep.

"Who!" Qin Yu turned over and jumped up, posing and looking at the door.

I saw Li Yue standing at the door with a long sword in his hand.

"The Chu army has attacked the city!" Li Yue turned around and went out after dropping such a sentence.

"The Chu army is attacking the city?" Qin Yu looked puzzled.

At this time, the sound of war drums sounded outside again, making Qin Yu's face change.

Before he had time to think about it, Qin Yu hurriedly put on his armor and rushed to the city wall.

At this time, the Tang army at the head of the city was already in full battle, and Gongsun Qi and others were also standing on the city wall.

"Your Excellency!" After seeing Qin Yu, they saluted Qin Yu one after another.

Qin Yu just waved his hand, then poked his head out to look.

I saw that the Chu army outside the city had finished arranged, and the huge siege ladders, as well as the catapults behind the Chu army, and the heavy and huge battering rams, were all ready.

Qin Yu's face was very ugly.

It was only negotiated yesterday, but I didn't expect this Lu Cheng to regret it today.

"My lord, this doesn't seem to be a show, but a big siege." Qin Yuan said on the side.

"I know!" Qin Yu said angrily: "I didn't expect this Lu Cheng to be so shameless, and he changed his hexagram after he talked about it!" ”

"Good thing we're prepared! The whole army obeys the order! Hold the walls! ”

Qin Yu looked at Pei Ren again, "Listen to Brother Du, you are good at defending the city, and you can even block Xiang Feng's offensive, you will command!" ”

"But General Qin, you are the chief general of our army, and you should be in command." Pei Ren said in a panic.

"Then you do what you want! I said you will be in command! Whoever doesn't obey the order, including me, has the right to deal with it! Qin Yu said with a serious face.

"No!" Pei Ren was deeply moved, this Qin general trusted him so much.

General Qin trusts himself so much, he must not live up to General Qin's trust, and he must block the Chu army!

Pei Ren immediately arranged it, and there were not many troops before, so he couldn't give full play to Pei Ren's talent.

But now that the garrison of the city is sufficient, Pei Ren's talents can finally be fully displayed.

Qin Yu stood aside, as if supervising Pei Ren and the others, actually learning from Pei Ren.

Qin Yu had never fought a large-scale battle to defend the city, and he had read the war book several times, but it was only on paper.

Therefore, Qin Yu handed over the command of defending the city to Pei Ren, and at the same time, he was able to practice what he learned in the war book from Pei Ren.

Just when Pei Ren was almost arranged, the war drums of the Chu army sounded again.

I saw that behind the Chu army outside the city, a huge trebuchet bounced up violently.

"Whew! Call! Phew······"

The whistling sound in the sky muffled the crackling of flags.

In the dim sky, the boulders are difficult to catch with the naked eye.

"Dodge!" Pei Ren shouted, and the first one squatted in the corner.

The rest of the people also came to their senses and hurriedly took refuge in the corner.

Those who didn't come and hid didn't even have time to scream, and they were smashed into flesh by boulders.

A soldier beside Qin Yu was smashed into flesh by a boulder because he didn't hide in time, and blood was even splashed on Qin Yu's face.

Although Qin Yu has experienced several major battles, he has also killed many people.

But now seeing the person who was smashed into pulp, his eyes were still rolling on the ground, Qin Yu was almost spit out.

The same is true for Li Yue, who lifted the mask and spit it out.

Gongsun Qi's face was a little ugly, but he was quite calm.

Only Qin Yuan and Pei Ren's faces were as usual, and they were used to seeing such a scene, and they couldn't affect the two of them anymore.

The catapults of the Chu army were still in operation, and the boulders smashed on the city walls with a whirring sound.

Although Wucheng is high and thick, the people on the city wall can still feel that the city wall is smashed and shakes slightly.

"Damn, this Chu army's offensive is not small! With so many boulders coming down, the walls are going to be peeled off! Pei Ren's face was ugly.

The offensive of the Chu army was even more fierce than before, after all, there was a loss after the trebuchet was used.

A trebuchet can happen twenty times at most, and then it has to be stopped and repaired, after all, it is made of wood.

Finally, the trebuchet of the Chu army stopped.

All that remained in the sky was the snapping of flags in the wind.

Qin Yu cautiously looked over, and before he could decide what Qin Yu saw, he heard Pei Ren shouting!

"Archers meet the enemy!"

Seeing this, Qin Yu also stood up, only to see that the infantry of the Chu army had almost advanced under the city wall.

The archers of the Chu army were also under the cover of shield soldiers, suppressing the Tang army on the city wall.

Qin Yu found that the Chu army's archers covered the infantry, and the shield soldiers protected the archers, and they cooperated extremely well.

Pei Ren divided the archers into three teams and kept firing in turns to ensure that the arrows on the city wall were uninterrupted.

However, Pei Ren did not let the archers fight back against the archers of the Chu army, so the Tang troops on the city wall were constantly shot by the Chu army.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yu frowned slightly, but he didn't interfere with Pei Ren's command.

In fact, it's not that Pei Ren doesn't want to think about the Chu army's archers to fight back, but that he doesn't have time.

Now that the Chu army has arrived at the bottom of the city, the huge cloud ladder is almost under the city, and if you don't try your best to shoot the Chu army below, it will be too late.

Moreover, when the ladder of the Chu army travels some distance, in order not to hurt the friendly troops, the archers of the Chu army will also stop.

Pei Ren ran to the back and shouted to the city, "Damn! Is the trebuchet ready? All fucking bunch of shit! ”

"Quick! Come and don't roll the stone logs and move them up! ”

Although the walls were stocked with rolling stone logs, it was obviously not enough, and they needed to be constantly replenished.

Just when the ladder of the Chu army was set up on the city wall, the trebuchet in the city was finally prepared.

The general who commanded the trebuchet was Pei Ren's lieutenant, so he didn't need Pei Ren to give an order, just heard a whistling sound, and one after another boulders flew out of the city and smashed into the dense Chu army, splashing soil several meters high on the ground, smashing out huge deep pits.

"Kill! The first to enlist the bounty is 1,000 taels! "The generals of the Chu army loudly encouraged ordinary soldiers.

"Fire oil! The oil is up! Pei Ren shouted again for oil and oil.
